The dibbler (Parantechinus apicalis) is a small marsupial belonging to the family of carnivorous marsupials (same family as the Tasmanian devil).
Dibblers are currently classified as endangered because they were once found over much of the south-west corner of Western Australia but are now found only in a few, small isolated populations in WA due to predation by foxes, cats and land clearing.
Since the dibbler is endangered, it is necessary to look at any possible threats to their survival, which is why is it is important to find out what relationship if any exists between the dibbler and the Wedge-tailed Shearwater.
